He won the 2009 Formula Nippon Championship with four wins driving for Nakajima Racing after finishing second in 2008.On 11 June 2014, the Le Mans Audi No. 1 driven by Duval was severely damaged, casting doubt whether it could be repaired for the race, or if Audi could build a new car in time, which would start from the back of the field. Duval was in reasonable condition, considering the magnitude of the accident.
Formula E (2015–2017)
Duval made his Formula E debut at the 2015 Miami ePrix in March 2015, having missed the first four races of the inaugural 2014-15 Formula E season.

Despite a slow start to his career, Duval achieved his first podium finish of the season with third place at the 2015 Berlin ePrix with teammate d'Ambrosio winning the race resulting in Dragon Racing first double podium finish. Duval made second appearance to the podium at round two of the London ePrix in the season finale. Duval finished the season in ninth position with 42 points having raced in seven of the eleven championship rounds. Duval's contributions helped Dragon Racing finish second in the Championship having spent the majority of the season outside the top five.2015-16
Duval started the 2015–16 season off strongly having out qualified teammate d'Ambrosio in the opening two rounds. Duval finished fourth in Beijing, the first time he has outraced teammate d'Ambrosio. During the following round in Putrajaya, Duval crashed while fighting for a podium in the closing stages of the race. In Punta del Este, Duval qualified second on the front row alongside d'Ambrosio resulting in Dragon Racing's first front row lockout.
